The Sussex Beacon receives less than 1/3 of our funding from statutory sources and the rest comes from our own fundraising activities. Choosing to become a Team Beacon Hero is vital in funding our work, supporting and caring for people living with HIV across Sussex.

The Sussex Beacon supports people in Sussex who are living with HIV. Changes in medication now mean that most people live a full and long life, however for the most vulnerable, its a constant challenge. Living with HIV you are much more likely to develop secondary conditions like diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease or kidney disease. Many of our patients need social care and help with their day to day lives as well as an increasing mental health support. Many of our patients are ageing with HIV and are increasing frail and more prone to other infections. They are also more likely to be living alone or isolated and prone to depression and poor mental health.

The Sussex Beacon is based in Brighton, is a valued local cause and lifeline to many. Please support our #teambeaconheroes who are raising much needed funds and vital awareness.
